“Summer House” star, Lexi Wood, cleared the air about her relationship with castmate West Wilson, after she was accused by Jesse Solomon of getting too close with him during a night out.
“West and I have never flirted â and we never will. We just have a strictly platonic relationship, and obviously he is friends with Jesse and they’re so close. They were newbies together,” she told People on May 3.
The newest addition to season 9 continued, “So yeah, that would just never be a thing. So I was definitely like, ‘Wait, wait, what is going on right now?’”
Wood and Solomon hit it off right away upon seeing each other for the first time at the Hamptons house.
However, things took a turn when Wood learned that Solomon got his toes sucked by a girl while she was away from the house for a weekend.
Despite her disappointment, Wood told People, “I think I’m really lucky that my cast told me everything and that my friends were kind of there to give me a heads-up, whether it was a little late or not.”
She added, “So yeah, I think I’m really lucky in that case because if we were in the normal world, I probably wouldn’t know certain things, like the toe [incident]. I wouldn’t have known any of this.”
Solomon Is ‘Grateful’ for His Relationship With Wood
Although Solomon’s brief romance with Wood didn’t end well, he told Glamour in April, “Our relationship meant a lot to me, and Iâm grateful for everything it taught me.”
He continued, “Sometimes connections shift, especially in a setting like this where everything is under a microscope and conversations are happening through a game of telephone.”
“As far as being called dishonest, I really do try to be transparent. I think there were just some miscommunications and heightened emotions, which is understandable given the environment,” Solomon said.
As for Wood, she told the publication, “Watching back, I wish there was more honesty because I would have made different decisions and choices.”
The model shared, “I wish that I was able to have more knowledge so I could have the autonomy to make those decisions, whereas having a lack of knowledge, Iâm just going by what Iâm seeing.”
Wood recalled, “On our first date, I was like, ‘Iâm a relationship girl. I am not hooking up with anyone that Iâm not in that exclusivity with. Again, to protect my physical health, mental health, emotional health. Thatâs number one for me. If youâre not there, thatâs totally fine.’”
